Nothing but a story.

 

Hello there,

I am a freelance journalist and MA Global Financial Journalism student at City University, London.

As a recent journalism, film and media graduate, I know my way around the industry.

Currently, I am working as a Social Media Researcher on BBC Question Time and Debate Night. I have also previously worked in broadcast journalism and interned in a publishing house.

I am a multimedia storyteller. I am skilled in using print, online publications, audio, video or social media.

I am currently specialising in global financial and political stories. For my final journalism project at Stirling, I travelled to Turkey to investigate societal, economic and political changes under the current government.

I have Turkish parents and grew up in Germany as an immigrant child. Later, I decided to move to Scotland for my undergraduate degree. I am fluent in German, Turkish and English. Moreover, I have experience working in all of those languages and countries.

I have a true passion for current affairs and global happenings. Particularly, the Middle East fascinates me.

Do you want to know more about me? Write me. Or even better, work with me. You will not regret it ;-)

Fun Facts:

  • I love huskies, even though I have never had a dog

  • If you ask me to go on a trip spontaneously, I will probably say yes

  • If there is something broken, chances are, I am responsible for it

  • I hum or sing something all the time, even in my sleep

  • I am addicted to tea (especially jasmine)

  • I am well-known for asking deep questions all the time because I love people but despise small talk

A webpage is nothing without its visual appeal. The main illustrator and artist behind my page is my sister, best friend and companion Emine Bahar Bora. Her artist name is Lyla, so let´s go with that here.
